Ahmedabad experienced an unexpected late-night downpour on Saturday, 19 September 2026, accompanied by sharp thunder and lightning.
The heavy rain affected several areas, including Bopal, Shilaj, Shela, Ghuma, and Vastrapur, as well as commercial zones like SG Highway and Makarba.

Streets in Bopal, Shela, and Ghuma were submerged, creating challenges for late-night commuters and two-wheeler riders. The heavy rain and accompanying lightning also posed risks of electrical hazards and potential damage to property.
